A new matchtype, Super League Pairs, has been added to the next version of DfW. "Super League Pairs" is a team of pairs. DfW will support 3 to 12 pairs pr. team, the default setting is 4 pairs pr. team. The default gameformat when playing a "Super League Pairs" match is 1001, 4 pairs pr team playing best of 1 leg pr set (match). Later I will add the option to link a "Super League Pairs" match to a "normal" Super League match so you can print all stats and so on in one go. I know that there are a lot of different Super League formats so the new option may not be perfect for all users, but I do hope that some (Essex) will find it useful :)

I am getting sick and tired of all those emails I send who does no reach the recipients. Once again I am having trouble with ISPs who blocks my e-mails or tag them as spam. I have started to send two copies of the activation code from two different e-mail accounts every time a customer buys a license to make sure the customer gets the code, but that is not enough because a lot of times BOTH e-mails are blocked.
I have never sent out a single spam in my whole life. If you have registsred your serial number and you are waiting for the activation code, please check your junk mail folder. To activate DfW, you dont even need the e-mail with the activation code, if the code has been uploaded to the license server you will be able to activate by just clicking the link in the nag screen I am a registered user-Activate my license and enter the same name you put in when you registered the serial number. I always upload the activation code as soon as I receive the order (if I am at work, sometimes it MAY take an hour or two depending on the time zone).

From time to time I am having trouble with customers who does not register their license number after purchase. The only way I can create a activation code is by knowing your correct e-mail address and the Darts for Windows serial number from the demo/trial version. A lot of my customers are using outdated e-mail addresses at PayPal and they therefore does not receive the autorespond with the registration instructions from me when they purchase a license and at the same time I am not able to contact the buyer because they do not read e-mails from the outdated or non existing accounts. All copies of DfW has a unique serial number and there is no way I can know or guess this number. You will not receive a different or "full" version of DfW when you purchase a license, because the demo/trial version is the full version, but it will have to be activated to enable all functions and also remove limitations set in the demo/trial version.

If you are not sure what to do to if you want to purchase a license, this is what you do:

1. Download the demo/trial version by clicking the big red button on the top left side of this page.
2. Install the demo/trial version on the correct computer (the license is locked to ONE single computer).
3. Click the "Buy now" button on the rigth side.

After you have paid by credit card or by using a PayPal account, go to http://www.dartsforwindows.com/paid.html and register the DfW serial number and you will receive the activation code and instructions from me as soon as I have created and uploaded the code. The code generation and upload are done MANUALLY so if I am not available at the time you purchase a license, it may take from a few minutes to a few hours before you will receive the activation code by e-mail.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK/SPAM MAIL FOLDER IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE ACTIVATION CODE, MY E-MAILS MAY BE TAGGED AS SPAM FOR SOME REASON

The "speed registration" of player names has been implementet in the "Add players and teams" screen in the next version of DfW. This will make it a lot faster to register players in DfW. It is also very handy if you copy and paste names from a different application, text file or spread sheet for example. DfW will split the names into first and last names for you, if the split was not as expected, the first and lastnames can be edited after the player(s) has been saved to the database. To register a player using the "speed registration", all you have to do is to select the team name for the player (or "No Team") and fill in the "Full name" input box and then press the ENTER key and the player will be saved to the database intstantly when you press the ENTER key. When using the "Full name" box to register the players, there is no need to click the "New/clear" button in the tool bar, DfW will do the work for you. If you prefer to use the "First name" and "Lastname" boxes instead, a player can only be saved to the database by using the "Save" button and you can only add a new player by clicking the "New/clear" button first (as you do in the current version). I will update the tutorials on this website as soon as the new version has been released.

I live only 15 kilometers from where the bomb went off in Oslo yesterday, luckily I was not in the office when the bomb went off. My office is located just a few hundred meters away from the destroyed buildings. I have no internet connection at work at the moment so there may be problems caused by the terror. The massacre at Utøya is even worse, 85 young people confirmed dead and the number may rise. This is so shocking, there are almost no one outside today, it is very quiet and not mutch traffic.

Im having a lot of trouble with my e-mails at the moment. It looks like BT and Hotmail are once again blocking my e-mails. I have answered a lot of mails who has obviously not reached their destinations since some customers are registerings the serial number over and over again (it does not help to register several times), even if I have sent the activation code by e-mail several times from different e-mail accounts. Some customer does not even register the serial number and without the serial number, I can not create the activation code simply because I dont know the serial number since it is created by random upon the first installation of the demo/trial version.
Danny Knight, your activation code is in the database and you can activate by clicking the link"Im a registered user-Download the activation code" in DfW.
Jason Bone, you must register the serial number from the demo/trial version here or else you will not be able to activate. I have sent you several e-mails (to both the BT address and the masonandbonedecorators.co.uk address), but no reply.
Please check your junk mail folder if you are expecting e-mail from me.

Off to the casino...

I will be in Riga, Latvia, from early Friday morning (May 13) until very late on Sunday evening (May 15). I may be unavailable the whole weekend. If you contact me or buy a license, it may take a couple of days before I respond, but I do hope I will have internet available some of the time.

The official 2.7.6.2 version has been released.

A couple of new options has been added to the new DfW version, change player(s) or order of play after a County or Super League match has started and the option to list and use players of all sexes (mens, women boys and girls) in singles matches regardless of what "Playertype" DfW is set to. The match will of course be logged in the match log as the type you set it to, but you will at least have the option to let fex. boys and girls, or men and women, play eachother in singles matches without registering the girls as "Boys" and women as "Mens". A new tutorial on how to change the order or how to replace one or more players in Super League and County matches when a match is in progress has also been added. I have added an option to export draws in XML format. This is very handy for developers and webmasters who want to publish draws on their websites using their own layout. Another new option is to create single round Round Robins with the multi round Round Robin layout. The number of players pr group in a single round Round Robin has also been extented to 40 players. I find the multi round Round Robin layout a lot easier to use and maintain than the traditional "WDF" styled grid. The advantage of using the (optional) multi round Round Robin layout is that the tables are sorted on the fly. I am also in progress of publishing the RTL7 International Masters 2011 database played in Holland in March. This database will contain single round Round Robin in multi round Round Robin layout. I have also added a new options to "speed register" players. Speed registering is a simpler way of register the players in the database. You will only have to enter the players name in one single box and DfW will (try) and split the first name and last name automatically. No need to enter a team name either if you dont want to, DfW will add "No Team" as the team if no default team is selected for the player(s).

My back is almost good as new again so I am back to work. I will release a new official version of DfW in a couple of days. The new version will have an option to export draws in XML format.

There is a rahter serious bug in the 2.7.6.1 version when saving matches in the "Match Editor" screen. Please download the upgrad/fix from the link below if you are planning to use the "Match Editor". The fix below does not have a new version number.
Because I was in Denmark last week, I missed two of the four Premier League 2011 matches last Thursday because Sport1 in Germany only showed parts of the Wade-Webster match and nothing from the Taylor-Lewis match, instead they showed poker and boring commercials :(

I have some serious trouble with my back at the moment (prolapse) and I am not able to walk or sit.

Version 2.7.6.1 has been released. Click link below to download the new version.

The 2.7.6.1 version fixes a bug in the game format in the draw sheet. It is now possible to hide the board and time in the draw sheet if not in use or you need the extra space. When you drag and drop a match from the match log screen into a draw sheet to assign a match to the draw sheet, you no longer need to drag and drop the match into the correct box, DfW will find the correct match if the match exists. When you search for a player in the draw sheet, DfW will highlight all occurences of the name.

18.04.2011
17:05 CET

I am in Denmark from 16-23 of April. I will check my e-mail from time to time, but it may take a lot longer than normal before I respond. If you buy a license, please be patient, it may take a few hours extra before you get the activation code.

I am working on a new DfW version with a new "engine" who will support more formats than before. The new engine will also make it a lot easier for me to add new formats in the future. The downside is that older versions of DfW will not be able to read the matchdata from databases created with the new version because of all the changes to the inner workings of DfW. This may not be a problems since all you have to do is to upgrade to the new version. I will probably release the 2.7.6.0 version as the last version with the old "engine".

Thank you to to all the uploaders, you know who you are :)

A new beta version has been released. The new version uses non blocking sockets when using DfW for live scoring (www/http). The advantage of using non blocking sockets is that DfW will not freeze if the internet connection is unstable or lost while posting live data to www.dartsforwindows.com.

Simon Whitlock-Mark Webster
Terry Jenkins-Adrian Lewis
Raymond van Barneveld-Gary Anderson
Phil Taylor-James Wade

A new beta version has been released. The new version has some improvements and bug fixes in the single round Round Robin. When adding players to a Round Robin by clicking the button "Add players" when you have registered the exact number of players, the last player would not be put into the Round Robin, it had to be done manually by drag and drop or by double-clicking the player. this problem has been fixed. When printing a Round Robin with no results in it, DfW no longer fills the table with zeroes. This makes it perfect to use in a tournament where the players fill in the results themselves by pen. Order of play is also included in the printout. I have also added better scaling of the Round Robin printout by calculating free space on the page and then expand the grid to make it easier to read (and also to put in results by hand in a printout). Best leg and highest outshot has been added to live scoring (only the "www" part, not "FTP").

It has been a very busy weekend and the databases has started to arrive. Click links below to download the databases in Darts for Windows format. I have also released a new beta version. The new version fixes a bug in Round Robin. It was not possible to put in more than 9 legs in the results input box in RR, no matter what the format was set to. This problem has been fixed.

The English flag has been set to "transparent" by accident in the new beta version. This causes the flag to only show the red cross (white is transparent). Click this link to download the updated flags database. Unzip and replace the "flagsdb.flg" file in the installation directory, normally C:DartsforWindows unless you have installed the program to a different folder.

The new beta version contains a separate database with 111 flags (british county flags and almost all WDF member countries flags). The flags are displayed in the score sheet (1 for each player) if a flag is assigned to the players team name. The flag option can of course be turned off from the "Settings" screen. It is also a separate screen for preview, adding, removing and renaming of the flags in the database.

Over 5.000 people has followed the live scoring from the Six nations Cup 2011 today. The highest number was during the England-Netherlands match.
Some sites has embedded the live score page from the Six Nations 2011 into their own website by using the IFRAME HTML tag without my permission. I have now added code to prevent the embedding on other sites than this one.
There is a critical bug in the 2.7.5.6 version. If you create a new database, you wil get an error message (field not found) as soon as you enter the first score in a match. The version below also contains the new option to do live scoring from your own computer on www.dartsforwindows.com/live. Click link below to download the bug fixed version.
Click link below to download the Six Nations Cup 2011 database. The database is 100% complete.

Do you wonder how they do the live scoring from the Six Nations 2011 on this web site?
Anyone can, you only need a valid DfW license to run your own live score on this page. The only requirement is an internet connection and no restrictions on port 80 on your pc (port 80 is the port for HTTP traffic or web browsing if you like). I will create a new tutorial on how to do live scoring on this web page by using the new HTTP option available from version 2.7.5.7 in Darts for Windows.

26.02.2011
21:05 CET

I had to stop the web server for a minute to clear the logs. I have had just over 100.000 server requests the last 7 hours because of the live scoring so the logs are rather big.
The live scoring page is finally working in Internet Explorer also. Took me over 8 hours to find a solution to overcome a bug in IE. Click here to follow the live scoring from The Six Nations Cup 2011.

Im leaving for Glasgow in a few minutes for the Scottish Open. I may be online from time to time during the weekend, but it may take a little longer before I respond to e-mails. If you buy a license, please be patient, it may take a few hours extra before you get the activation code.

I am currently working on a new option in DfW, live scoring hosted by www.dartsforwindows.com. There will be a separate page on this server for live scoring. All registsred users of DfW will have their own live scoring page, and the best thing of all, no configuration has to be done in DfW, you will only need a internet connection. There will be a menu on the live scoring start page where you can see all the live scoring, past and present, on wwww.dartsforwindows.com.

www.dartsforwindows.com and www.dartsforwin.com has been moved to a new server. The reason why I moved it was that my internet connection was simply not fast enough anymore. I have only had a download speed around 100kb the last 5 years on this server, the new server is connected to a 1 Gigabit internet line (that is 125 times faster download speed than my current line). It will probably take up to 24 hours before DNS servers are updated with the new IP address.

A new beta version has been released. This version fixes a bug when printing the alpha list from a draw or exporting the alpha list from a draw to Excel. It also fixes a bug when sending data from the "Match details" screen to Excel. Please note that the 2.7.5.4 official release has a bug in the sound setup so if you are using the sound files from the PC game PDC World Championship Darts (Russ Bray's voice), use the version below instead. I do recommend the version below, it has many bugfixes for bugs who was introduced in the official 2.7.5.4 version. The official 2.7.5.5 version is just around the corner.
Thank you to Andy Heaton and Ross Goyne for uploading the Youth County databases. Since the Youth pages are no longer available on the new BDO site, I can no longer create "ready to go" DfW files for the youth county matches since I don't have access to the list of fixtures and players.

A new beta version has been released. This version fixes a mouse scroll problem in Round Robin. I have also added a button in Round Robin to fill all groups in a Round Robin with random players (automatic draw). The button is available in the "Add players to Round Robin" screen (click the button with a head and a + sign in the Round Robin toolbar).

In case you did not know, Darts for Windows is the software used by players like Martin Adams, Raymond van Barneveld, Roland Scholten, Martin Atkins, Matt Clark and many many more well known professionals. DfW is also used by the BDO on stage on 4 monitors at Lakeside for the World Championships. This is the 5th year in a row Darts for Windows is the official scoring system for the World Championships.

I have managed to send out all activation codes for all licenses sold during my holiday here in Portugal. There is one problem who very often occurs when I sell a lot of licenses and that is the danger of having the licenses I sent out being blocked or tagged as spam because the text in every activation e-mail is almost identical. This has happened a few times so If you have purchased a license, please check your junk mail folder if you have not received the activation instructions.

I just discovered an article on The Daily Mail website. This is how Martin Adams prepare for a Lakeside final:
I had an interview at ten o'clock with the BBC. After that I went back to my room. I've got a board in there so I had a quiet practice up there play against my computer in my room. I've got the darts for windows programme and that tells you how you are doing for the day, your averages. It gives you a level and an idea of how much work you might have to put in later on.
Martin Adams has been using Darts for Windows since 1995.When Darts for Windows was relaunched in October 2005, Martin Adams was my first customer.

Congratulations to Martin Adams and Trina Gulliver for winning the Lakeside World Darts Championships. The database is now 100% complete. Thank you to the BDO and Sue Getty for uploading the database.
www.dartsforwindows.com and www.dartsforwin.com is very slow at the moment caused by the heavy traffic. I was totally shocked when I checked the server logs, up more than 250% from last year on the Lakeside final day.

It is at least more accurate than the PDC's own stats.

Happy new year everyone!
I'm leaving for Portugal in one hour so I will not be able to view or record the darts today.
I will be in Vilamoura, Portugal, from January 1st to January 15. I will probably miss most of the PDC darts on Saturday so the Ladbrokes.com database will not be 100% complete this year, unless someone else does the scoring :) On the other hand, I will not miss a single dart from Lakeside because the BDO is doing the scoring. If you buy a license in the period of January 1 to 15, it may take a few hours extra before you get the activation code so please be patient. Registering more than once does not help either since the code is generated and uploaded manually :)

A new beta version has been released. The biggest change in this version is not the functionality, it is in the development tool I use. I have been using Borland Delphi 7 for 11 years now, but it had to come to an end because the lack of support for all the new functions and the new eye candy stuff in Windows 7 and Vista. I have ported all the code (more than 650.000 lines) to the new development tool, Embarcadero Delphi XE. The biggest advantage unicode characters (like chinese and so on) is also the biggest disadvantage because strange things can happen to all text related functions. I have tested as much as I can, but there is no guarantee that everything is working 100% in this beta. All tests are looking good (I have had many challenges) so I am very optimistic. All development is now done on a Windows 7 pc. A few bugs has been fixed in this version. Using aero in Windows Vista and 7 will also work better than in the previous versions.

There problems with the refreshing of the live score in Internet Explorer has been solved.

I'm not able to send mail to Hotmail or Live accounts anymore from @dartsforwin.com mail accounts. Microsoft blocks all my e-mails sent to their Hotmail and Windows Live accounts for "policy reasons" (don't make sense to me...). Please use your real e-mail address when purchasing DfW. I have setup a Hotmail account so I'm still able to send the activation code to my customers :)

I have managed to solve most of my live scoring problems in Internet Explorer. IE did not read the style sheet information from the live score HTML file I send to the web server when using a separate HTML file to load the live score file. This made the live score look very dull in IE (no problems in Firefox). Normal live score using the default score.html file did work without any problems, but because the live score may stop because the web browser may try to read the HTML file while it is being uploaded, I decided to create an option to use a separate HTML file to force the live score to reload if it fails to load the first time. Another advantage using a separate HTML file to read the live score data is that you can modify this file and put in your own logo, links or whatever to personalise your live scoring. I will update the live score tutorial and also publish a new DfW version later today if I get the time.

The PDC PartyPoker.net European Championship Live Score database will be available later tonight.

17:15 CET

A new beta version will be released later this week. The new version will have improved live scoring using Ajax technology making the refresh of the data in the web browser seamless. The live score page will also be reloaded automatically within 13 seconds if it fails to load for some reason (requires a separate HTML file to be uploaded to the web server). Timezone information has also been added to the timestamp. At the moment, the live scoring works very well in Firefox, but I have some problems with Internet Explorer.

The StanJames.com World Matchplay 2010 database has been updated with the semi-finals and the ladies final.

I noticed on the PDC website that Phil Taylor's average is not the same as mine. I recorded the match on my HD so I had to browse though the whole match to see if I have done something wrong, but I have not. The PDC average is not correct. The correct average for Phil Taylor is 102.94, not 103.31. My stats are correct, PDC's are not :)

I looks like I have some problems receiving e-mails at the moment. I can see from the date and time stamp on the e-mail sent to me that it takes 3-5 hours before it is sent to I receive them.I will contact the company who is hosting my mail server and see if they can find out why.
I will be in Gothenburg, Sweden, from Saturday morning to Monday night. During that period I will check my e-mail from time to time, but I will not be online more than an hour or so a day.

Sorting criteria in multi rounds Round Robin has been changed to follow the same rules as WDF and PDC. I have also changed DfW to no longer start a leg from a random number between 435 and 499 when in demo mode. All legs in demo mode will start from 401.

It looks like the dartsforwin.com mail server is being blocked by most of the the British ISP's.

A new beta test version has been released. The most significant change is the support for multiple rounds in Round Robin. By multiple rounds I mean the players can play each other more than once (max 8 times pr group), just like the PDC Premier League and Bridlington Premier League. The old Round Robin is still available, but only when you set the number of rounds to 1 (players play each other only once). The new Round Robin has autosorting and also a lot of other improvements like the results are updated automatically if matches are started from the Round Robin screen. It also supports drag and drop results from the "Match log" window into the "Order of Play" window to register the results in the "OOP" window. A new tutorial for the new Round Robin is now available.

Round Robin with multiple rounds will be added to DfW in the next version. For backwards compability, I may keep the old Round Robin. The new version have autosorting so the table will be sorted automatically for every result you put in. The order of play (where you put in the results) is in a separate window. I have set a limit of 72 players pr. group in the new Round Robin (should be more than enough for normal use). There is a limit of max 8 rounds in the new RR (every player can play eachother a maximum of 8 times in one Round Robin).
Here is how the first test version looks like. I have put in all the results from the PDC Premier League 2010. I have also checked with the PDC site that my table is identical to the official table and it is.

This is the first time this cup includes women so I had to change DfW a lot to make it work with the new addition. The database below requires the latest beta version (2.7.4.3 BETA 4) of DfW to work properly.

I have added font smoothing to the score sheets and also to the "floating" window and it looks a lot better than before (see screen shot below).

No PDF printer required on your pc. This version also fixes a problem when setting up youth county teams.
Thank you to Huw Jones for uploading the Great Mountain Open 2010 database and to Ricky Carter for the Dorset databases.

If you get the error message "Software protection error" when trying to unlock DfW on Windows Vista or Windows 7, close Darts for Windows, RIGHT click the DfW icon on the desktop and then click the item in the menu, "Run as Administrator" and the program will unlock without the any problems. This problem is caused by too tight security settings on Vista and Windows 7 (on some pc's).

30.01.2010
07:10 CET

I have release a new and final beta test version. This is the 2.7.4.2 release candidate version. This version fixes a serious problem with message dialog boxes when creating teams or players by clicking on the "Add" button in the match setup screen. All error and information messages in this mode will not be visible (the message dialog box would hide behind the players register screen, making it impossible to continue without killing the program unless you press the enter key on the keyboard to close the invisible message...). This problem is caused by Windows who do not put the message dialog boxes in front of the topmost screen in the application.

29.01.2010
23:05 CET

A new tutorial on how to setup Super League teams/matches using the new setup screen (from version 2.7.4.1) is now available.

20:15 CET

The final missing database for Division Three has been added to the download section.

I just noticed a few minutes ago that the jerk, Paul McCrevey (crevey1@googlemail.com), who ripped me off by lying to PayPal by saying he never received what he paid for and got his money back after purchasing and unlocking DfW, is still using Darts for Windows. What a looser. I know who you are Paul and what league you are playing in. I hate dishonest darts players !

20.01.2010
20:55 CET

www.dartsforwindows.com is now up and running again. Due to a power loss in the area where I live, my server was down for just over one hour between 17:10 and 18:20 CET.
I have release a new beta test version. The most important change can be found here.

19.01.2010
16:35 CET

I have decided do add a "Add new player" button in the next release when DfW is set in "County" mode. The reason for this is that some users found it confusing and hard to find where to register new players in DfW when doing a county match. New players can only be added when in "Singles" mode.
Even more BICC databases from this weekend has arrived. Thank you to all the uploaders.

18.01.2010
19:35 CET

More BICC databases from this weekend has arrived. Division Three and Four has been a little slow this time :)

Darts for Windows has been a victim of fraud by a person named
Paul McCrevey. This person purchased a license for Darts for Windows and I mailed him the unlock code shortly after. What I did not know was that as soon as he had unlocked DfW, he contacted PayPal and told them that he wanted his money back (he did not contact me and ask me for a refund or anything) for some reason. I'm not sure, but I do think he told PayPal that he had not received what he paid for. I can see in my logs that he unlocked DfW and he was also using DfW AFTER he asked PayPal to reverse the transaction. He now has a free copy of Darts for Windows, I hope he will enjoy it. I have contacted him twice, but no response. His e-mail address is crevey1@googlemail.com.
If you know this guy, you know that he is not an honest person. This is not about money, this is about honesty between people in the darts community !

17.01.2010

Let's not forget that this weekend is county weekend. The first database form Scotland has arrived. Thank you to Cliff Murray for the upload.

23:25 CET

I have just arrived from Spain and my inbox is full :)
I have released a new version of DfW, but no change of version number. This version includes a fix for Scotland North and South BICC. I had forgotten to activate the division filter in DfW so the "ready to go" databases did not work for the Scottish Counties (no players visible). This update is very important if you are using DfW for Scottish BICC matches !

The BDO is using the latest technology in darts software for professional use. For some reason, the "professional" side of darts uses manpower for marking the scores on stage :)

New "ready to go" files for BICC, Division Three, has been uploaded. A lot of the players were not in the first export because they were not registered for the current season.
I have found the source to a error who was reported in the new version. If you select a team name in the "Teams" list who is blank, you will get a "Access violation" error in the "Add new player" screen. It is not possible anymore to create blank team names in DfW so this is not a big problem. The problem will only occur if you are opening a database created with a previous version where blank team names were allowed.
Darts for Windows 2.7.3.11 has been released. See the forum for list of some of the improvements and bugfixes.

The "ready to go" databases for the BICC weekend 31/10-01/11-2009 are now available from the "Download" menu in DfW. The files are also available for manual download on the BICC page.

From now on, all older versions of DfW will be kept in a separate download archive. In case of bugs or other problems in DfW, you will have the option to download and install a previous version. If your period of free upgrades expires, you will still be able to download older versions.

Version 2.7.3.11 will be released in a couple of days.
The BDO BICC software has been upgraded to import county matches straight from DfW databases. You no longer have to create export files from the "Match & Tournament" log. Mail the complete DfW database to your Division Executive instead. Don't forget to upload copies of your BICC databases to this server also :)
The upload can be done from the "Tools" menu in DfW.

Her is some info regarding the Darts for Windows license. When you buy a DfW license you will get free updates for the next 12 months, but it is possible to get free updates after the 12 months period has expired if you follow the rules in the license agreement shown below. Support is free and there is no time limit on support.

Important license info:
If your license is more than 12 months old you will no longer be able to get new unlock codes for your license if you haven’t used the “remove license” tool to remove the license from the old computer before changing computer or reformatting the hard-drive. The license removal tool removes the license from the computer and uploads a confirmation of the removal to the DfW license server. You will then be able to obtain a new unlock code for any pc you like after using the "license removal tool". If you fail to do this after the 12 months period has expired, you will have to buy a new license if you change or reformat the hard-drive.
The tool is mailed to you upon request.

This may not be very popular, but I have had to many incidents with dishonest people. If you are planning on reformatting or changing pc, make sure you run the "license removale tool" before you reformat or change computer and everything will be fine.

The British pound has dropped so much recently that I may be forced to raise the price per license to at least £23 from 01/01/2010. When I started to sell DfW to the public in 2005, 1 pound sterling was worh 12.30 in Norwegian currency. Today the value is 8.83 (PayPal). Let's hope the value will raise before the new year :)
If the value of pound sterling goes over NOK 10, I will raise the price with only £1 to cover extra costs for the server and the bandwidth..

Thank you to John Phillips for donating the Dockers Open 2009 database. The database contains the draw, the score sheets and stats from the final. The title went to Barrie Bates.

Most of the "ready to go" BICC database files for the first round of the 2009/2010 is now available, except for Division Three (only 2 out of 5 files available). 4 of the counties in Div Three has not registered players with the BDO at all. This is the first time since I added support for BICC (3 years) in Dfw this has happened.
The databases can be downloaded manually from the BICC pages or downloaded directly into DfW from the "Downloads" menu in DfW.

I'm leaving for Denmark tonight. I will be back next Tuesday.
DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD AND USE THE LATEST VERSION OF DFW FOR THE BICC. Don't blame me if you are using an outdated version of DfW :)

22:50 CET

The database from WDF World Cup 2009 has been updated. I merged 5 single databases into one, but the import function was not 100% ok for the pairs. The stats in the pairs has been rebuilt to make sure everything is correct. The stats were correct for the pair itself, but the sinlge stats for each player in the pair was not correct. This affected the total average for each player.

27.09.2009
18:55 CET

The ready to go BICC database files for the first round of the 2009/2010 season is delayed a couple of days for some of the divisions. The BDO has not received all registrations yet due to delays in the UK postal services.

Thank you to Ricky Carter for donating the database.

This site may be very slow at times because of a massive boost of visitors downloading the World Cup 2009 database :)
The database from WDF World Cup 2009 is now complete. The database contains all points tables (only available in version 2.7.3.10b), all draws + all scores and stats from the 423 matches played so far.
The Premier Darts League Bridlington 2009 database has also been updated with the latest results. The database now contains 629 matches !!

The World Cup 2009 database needs some manual changes because of forfeited legs. The legs has to be removed manually and the score sheet for the legs must be cleared. This is a challenge because I have never tried to do it beofre. The only reason fro removing the legs is that it affects the stats for the players a little bit (not much :).

24.09.2009
16:25 CET

The 2009 World Cup in Charlotte, USA, started today at 15:00 CET. Darts for Windows is the official software for the tournament. Darts for Windows has been modified to run the whole tournament. The points tables are updated automaticcally so it will show the current standings live. All scores and stats are also handled by DfW. The database will of course be published as usual on this site.

The 2.7.3.9 version had a corruption in the exe file probably caused by the encryption. The corruption caused a "access violation" when printing a Super League or BICC match in "BDO style". The new version is identical to the 2.7.3.9 version, except that the access violation is gone after a recompress and re-encryption of the exe file.
I have not been able to create "ready to go" databases for the BDO Youth County matches for the first county weekend simply because I don't have any of the names for this season yet :)
When the averages are published on the Southern Section pages, I will be able to create the files for the next round.

Thank you to Ricky Carter and Aly Hawkins for donating the databases.

I'm finally home from my three weeks trip to USA.
A new beta version has been released. This version fixes the problem when you print a draw sheet who has been divided into groups with 8 first round matches (default is 16) . The third column would contain wrong players.I only had a few minutes on the airport in Philadelphia to fix the problem :)
I have also fixed the same problem in a 32 player draw, divided into two groups. This was not fixed in the version released earlier today.
12 more matches, played yesterday, has been added to the Premier Darts League Bridlington 2009 database. The database contains all 583 matches played so far.

A new beta version has been released. Most changes is done to the "Tournament" side of DfW (beacuse of the coming World Cup in USA). In Round Robin, if two teams/players/pairs share the same position in the table, DfW will check for who won in the match between them to sort out who is comes first of the two (only in the "Sort" window, not in the RR table yet). The new beta also fixes a "Access viloation" error message when closing DfW. The error only occured if you had been using the "Board and time" screen in DfW to assign board and time to a draw sheet.
I will be travelling back to Norway from USA on Friday. I'll be home on Saturday afternoon.

A lot of the visitors on this site is probably not aware of that when you click a link in Google after doing searches containing Darts for Windows, Google is squealing about your keywords. A lot of you visitors comes here because you search for "crack", "free darts for windows", "darts for windows free unlock code" and so on. You should be a little more careful when you do that because I can see WHO is searching for the cracks or other illegal things.
Here is a sample from my web log. This search was done about 50 minutes ago:

There is not so much happening at the moment in the darts world, but for Darts for Windows a lot is happening. I'm very close to a unbelivable milestone when it comes to the number of licensed users. The sales has gone throught the roof this year. I'm not sure what I will do when I reach the milestone, but there will be at least some free licenses to the person who purchases the license with the magic number :)

The new beta also includes set scores in the "Match details" screen + a few other improvements and fixes. The printer orientation problem when printing to Adobe Acrobat is hopefully solved. I do not use Acrobat so I can't be 100% sure..

I'm leaving for Copenhagen tomorrow afternoon. I will be back on Saturday around noon. During that period I may not have an internet connection.

I will release a new beta version Tuesday night. I have by accident turned off the option to print "BDO styled" sheets when printing Super League matches. The new beta will also include set scores in the "Match details" screen + a few other improvements and fixes. I know there is a problem when printing to Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat ignores the page orientation set by DfW when printing to PDF.

A new beta version will be available Wednesday night. I have started to implemet "Net play" in DfW. The only problem with net play is that you must have some basic knowledge on how to setup port forwarding/NAT on your router so outside users can be able to connect to your pc. The TCP port will be configurable, but the default port is 9903. I have testet a very basic version of net play in my local LAN and it is working very well. I'm only able to send scores at the moment (no editing or undo is working. I will not include the "Net play" in the new beta. I will wait until it gets a little better :)
There are still a lot of you out there using the versions with the "undo" bug/memory problem. Please upgrade to the latest 2.7.3.4 version to avoid problems with the stats. The upgrade is FREE. Do not uninstall the old version. The new version upgrades the old version and makes sure nothing is lost.
Two more Division Four databases from the BICC weekend 07/03 is now availabale for download. Thank you to John Weller for uploading the database.

The "ready to go" databases for all divisions playing on the weekend of 28/03/2009 is now available from the "Downloads" menu in DfW and also on the BICC page.
I usually don't announce improvements in the news section anymore, but I will do an exception. I have added support for triples/threesome in DfW. There will be no option (yet) to play a threesome match, but you can instead create blind triples/threesomes teams and put them into a draw :)
You can create the triples manually or let DfW do the dirty work for you (mens, ladies or mixed triples). I will use the same technique and also add support for creating blind pairs. This will save tournament organizers for a lot of work when you do tournaments with blind pairs and/or triples/threesomes.

The Burnley Premier League 2009 database has been updated with the latest results.

Come on Divsion Four counties. I know there are at least two more databases out there :)

More BICC databases has arrived.

I have released the 2.7.3.4 version. This version will fix the problem described below. The list of improvements and changes can be found on the forum.

There was a serious problem in the 2.7.3.3 version (and probably down to version 2.7.3.1) of DfW when you used the "undo" function (CTRL-Z). I was not aware of this until I got a few reports about problems with the stats this BICC weekend. I upgraded some parts of my programming tool a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the upgrade caused a random memory leak and the data in the memory area used to store the stats, were sometimes overwritten by garbage numbers when you used the undo function (this affected the stats for the player you were editing the score for). I contacted the US based company who created the update and asked them for a fix. They have now sent me an update and my laptop is now working without any problems when I compile the source code. There were no problems using the undo function as long as you did a "Rebuild all stats in current database" from the "Tools" menu after the match was done. Normal editing of a score by clicking on the score in the score sheet was not affected since this funtion used another part of the memory. I'm sorry for this problem, but there was not much I could do until I got the update. At work I did not install the upgrade so everything were ok when the source code were compiled there (as I did with the 2.7.3.4 version).

I have just arrived my apartment in Spain and is now online again.
A new 2.7.3.3 beta version is now available. There is a couple of bugs in the "Add county team" screen. I have fixed the bugs and will release a new version later tonight. Use the beta version at your own risk :) A list of (som of the) bug fixes and improvements can be found on the forum.
While browsing the net, I came across a sound pack who is compatible with Darts for Windows. If you search for Darts sounds + Bruce Spendley in Google, you will find a RAR compressed file on a forum with all sounds from 0-180 + game shot. You will have to figure out yourself how to use these files (take a look at this turorial on how to use sound files in DfW). The sound file prefix must be set to blank in the "Settings -> Options" screen ("Extended" settings" tab) and also the two sound files "Player1.wav" and "Player2.wav" must be present in the "dfwsound" folder to get the sound option to work. These files are not the same quality as the one you get from the PxC demo. The PxC demo also got the "you require" sound + a few others the BS pack doesn't have.

I'm going on a 9 days trip to Spain on Saturday. If you are planning on buying a license, please order before Saturday.

I'm back online. My router died on Sunday night while watching the darts on ITV. I missed the last 7 legs of the Taylor-Thornton match so my database from the Coral.co.uk Players Championship 2009 is not complete. When the router died, it was almost the end of the world for me, but on the other hand, I was supposed to be in Portugal this week so I guess I was lucky after all. I'm going on a 9 days trip to Spain on Saturday. If you need a license, please order before Saturday. I don't know if I can get a stable internet connection in my hotel using my own laptop.

If you have a version older than 2.7.3.2, click one of the links on top of this page to download the latest version. The latest BETA version is stable så I do recommend you to use this version.

Two of the missing Scottish databases from last BICC weekend has arrived.

I'm also interrested in BICC matches in Excel format. I can convert the Excel sheets into Darts for Windows format. Also other missing databases from older matches will be much appriciated. You can find all the databases (more than 200) here.
Excel sheets and databases can be uploaded to this server by using the upload option in the "Tools" menu in Darts for Windows.

27.01.2009
20:45 CET

Out of 25 matches the last BICC round, 18 databases were uploaded to www.dartsforwindows.com. I'm sure some of you out there has one of the missing databases. I also misses some of the Scotland datbases. I know DfW is now used by almost all counties. The following matches from 17/01/2009 are missing in my archive:

  • Division One: Derbyshire-West Midlands
  • Division One: Staffordshire-County Durham
  • Division Two: Bedfordshire-Lincolnshire

The version number has been changed in the dowload link. Forgot to change the text this morning when the new version were updated.
Version 2.7.3.2 has been released. I did by accident remove some code in the beta version and after that I mananged to overwrite the original code in the release version too. This problem affected the whole "Match log" screen. I'm really sorry for this, but there was nothing I could do than release a new version. On the bright side, I have added entry numbers to the alpha list printout from both the "Add new player" screen and the "Tournament" screen :)

22.01.2009
20:00 CET

I had by accident overwritten the original 2.7.3.1 release with the beta version (probably on Monday or Tuesday this week). If the button with the "+" sign (the shortcut to the "Match details" screen) is missing from your "Match log" screen, please download the latest release and reinstall DfW. This will also affect deleting matches from the "Match log" when you click the "DEL" button in the grid. This will not remove the match form the database, only from the grid. Deleting a match from the "Match log" will work if you press the "DEL" (or "DELETE") button on your keyboard.

The BICC "Ready to go" databases for all divisions on the following dates:
21/01/2009, 07/02/2009, and 14/02/2009 are now available for download from the Downloads menu in DfW. You can also download manually from the BICC page.

The tutorial How to play against a player/match in a DfW database has been updated. This tutorial was VERY outdated so it was about time I did something about it :)

Yet another BICC database from last weekend has been added to the download section at the BICC page. I have now 191 BICC databases available for download in my online archive + 126 from different tournaments around the world, including most of the Majors.
I have managed to get hold of the scores from the famous match at Wembley in 1999, "The Challenge of Champions", between Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld.

Three more BICC databases from this weekend are now available for download.

It has been brought to my attention that the way I display tons in the
"Print BICC or Super League in BDO style" is not correct compared to the old Excel sheets used for County matches before the counties strated to use DfW. After studying one of the Excel sheets, I must admit that, yes, I do not show the tons the way it was done before. I'm going to change the way the tons are displayed back to how it used to be, even if I'm not so convinced that this is how it should be done. If you score 100 + 140 and 180 in one leg, the column should read "3+1", not 1-1-1 as I would have done. The basic rule is "the number of scores from 100-180 + an extra number for the 180's".

18.01.2009

The 2.7.3.1 version has been released. You no longer need to uninstall the old version before you install the new. The installer will uninstall and upgrade the program in one operation.

Thank you to Beryl Page for the upload.
There is a bug in the 2.7.3.0 version when you try to change the ton and score colours from the "Settings" screen. The changes are save to a wrong path in registry and therefore it will not be red back to the score sheet. Thsi bug has been fixed in the latest BETA version.

15.01.2009
22:45 CET

I'm still in Spain, but as long as I have internet access, I'm able to do the same things here as I do at home. The first databases from this weekends BICC matches has started to arrive. I'm going back to Norway tomorrow morning and I will be offline between 10:00 CET and 20:00 CET tomorrow.

A new 2.7.3.1 beta version has been released. This version fixes a couple of bugs in "Pairs". When playing a pairs match, the legs for both pairs are saved with the same pair id (probably introduced in the 2.7.2.1 version or later). This bug is not visible until you open the "Match details" screen. This bug affects also printing of stats in a pairs match. When game shot in a pairs match, the wrong player was given the score and darts. The player doing the outshot gets the same number of darts and points subtracted from his stats. The overall stats for the pair will be correct, but not the stats pr. player. These bugs has been fixed in the beta version. The "Match details" screen has been improved for pairs and 4 player teams.

A new BETA version has been released. I have finally managed to configure (or "trick" if you like") Installshield (the installation software) to overwrite the current DfW version without having to uninstall the old version. I have also removed the setting in the installer who is overwriting the last used database when upgrading (the overwriting was introduced in the 2.7.3.0 version). The "Match details" has been improved/facelifted (only for "Singles" and "County" at the moment).

While going through some old stuff in my basement, I found Norway Open 1997 on a VHS tape. It showed clips from the youth, ladies and from the mens quarter, semi and finals. Sadly, it is only two 100% complete matches on the tape and that is the semi-final between Raymond van Barneveld and Mervyn King and the final between van Barneveld and Martin Adams. The sem-final was awesome ! Raymond had over 108 in average and Mervyn over 103. The database can be downloaded from the link below or from the "Downloads" menu in DfW.

Version 2.7.3.0 has been released. I have not had the time to create a change log this time. The most important change is the default installation folder.The 2.7.3.0 version installs the program to C:\DartsforWindows by default, but you can of course change it to the old destination folder, C:\Program Files\Darts for Windows. The reason for doing this is the sh.... Windows Vista. The "Program Files" folder in Vista is a UAC protected folder. Even if you are an administrator, you don't have admin rights. The downside of changing the default installation folder is that the installer also overwrite the setting for the last used database. The default database will revert back to "dartsforwin.dfw" every time you upgrade DfW. I don't think it is going to be a big problem, but beware of that you may have to move old databases from the C:\Program Files\Darts for Windows\database folder to C:\DartsforWindows\database the first time you upgrade DfW if you are upgrading from an older version and you install DfW to the default installation folder.

A new version, 2.7.3.0 will be released on Dec. 31. I'm rather busy with the update at the moment, that is why I'm a little behind with the Ladbrokes database. I also miss the 2 first legs and the six first darts from set 2 in the Rodriguez-Painter match. If anyone got those scores I would be very happy to get my hands on them :)
The Ronnie Baxter-Dennis Ovens match has been added to the Ladbrokes.com WDC 2009 database..

My internet connection in Spain is now working again, but even with authentication turned on on the outgoing SMTP mailserver, I'm not able to send mail. I have recieved the database from the Mick Coonan 1001 Trophy 2008. The database contains the draw and the scores and stats from the final. The Ladbrokes.com WDC 2008 database has been updated with the missing Manley-Suljovic, van der Voort-Bezzeg and Smith-Ayres matches.

My free internet connection here in Spain did not last for more than a few hours so I don't have a internet connection anymore. They do have a computer in the reception, but I can not use my own computer there. I will be online again from Monday Dec. 29 at around 20:00 CET.

21.12.2008
23:50 CET

There will be no more updates from the Ladbrokes.com 2009 until next Monday. I'm of to Spain in 7 hours. I will record all the matches to my HD and update the database when I get back from Spain.
IMPORTANT NOTICE !!
I have released a new BETA version. The new version installs the program to C:\DartsforWindows by default, but you can of course change it to the old destination folder, C:\Program Files\Darts for Windows. The reason for doing this is the sh.... Windows Vista. The "Program Files" folder in Vista is a UAC protected folder. Even if you are an administrator, you don't have admin rights. The downside of changing the default installation folder is tha the installer also overwrite the setting for the last used database. The default database will revert back to "dartsforwin.dfw" every time you upgrade DfW. I don't think it is going to be a big problem, but bevare of that you may have to move old databases from the C:\Program Files\Darts for Windows\database folder to C:\DartsforWindows\database the first time you upgrade DfW. The beta version also includes a fix for the Lancashire bug. I had by accident set Lancashire to a Scotland South county instead of Lanarkshire :)

The Ladbrokes.com WDC has been updated with the Mark Stephenson v Raymond van Barneveld match. Download the database into DfW from the "Downloads" menu in DfW or click link below to download manually.

I will be in Spain (Malaga area) from Monday Dec. 22 to Monday Dec. 29. I'm not sure if I will have access to an internet connection during that period. If you are paying for a license during that time, it may take a while before you get the unlock code.

I have uploaded the database form a head to head match between Steve Maish and Simon Whitlock, played last nigh at the Crane Public House in Basildon, Essex. The match was played best of 35 legs. The match included 15 maximums and a 170 checkout from Simon. The match was won by Simon Whitlock 18-12.

The default installation folder, C:\Program Files\Darts for Windows, will be changed in future versions of DfW because of the crappy Vista "User Access Control". "Program Files" folder is a UAC protected folder and will give DfW problems if you don't change the user permissions on the "Darts for Windows" folder. The next problem now is that when you uninstall DfW, all databases will still be in the \database folder so you will have to manually move the files to the new database folder. I may change the path in the registry so DfW don't detect old databases and setting, but you will still have to move the files unless I can program Install Shield to do it for me.

If these pages are a little slow, it is because the number of visitors has increased by over 500% pr day the last three days :).
The Winmau Wold Masters 2008 database is now complete with all results and stats from the stage matches, including the missing Wagner-Anderson match.
The player import files has been removed from the BICC page. There is no longer any need for the import files when you have the "ready to go" databases available. It is even easier to use a database who has allready been prepared for a BICC match. All that is missing in the "ready to go" files are the team setup (the playing order). The playing order is not known until the same day the match starts so there is not much we can do about that :)
I have also created a tutorial on the BICC page on how to download the "ready to go" files.

One more BICC database from last weekend is now available for download from the Download menu in DfW 2.7.2.2. If you want to download manually, click the link below.

Thank you to Martin Byrne, Surrey, for uploading the database.

23:30 CET

A new BETA version has been released (link on top of this page). This is the second beta release today. When creating web outputs of a draw sheet, the web page will now refresh after 60 seconds. The page will not be put in your browsers cache either to make sure it loads a fresh copy every time. I have added this option so the live update pages from the Lakeside play offs will reload itself. The BDO has now updated their Darts for Windows version so the pages are now refreshing every 60 seconds. Fixed a saving bug in the draw sheet.

There may be some problems with computers running Windows Vista when setting up a BICC match. I'm not able to reproduce the error on my XP computer. When selecting the teams in the "Setup" screen, you may get an error message saying "Sorry, it's not allowed to have the same County on both sides !". I'm trying to create a workaround for this problem. I will start to make beta versions available for those of you who are interrested in testing new version. The first beta will be available tomorrow night.
The uploading of BICC databases has been very slow this round. It is the first time ever that I have almost more Scottish databases than the rest of England and Wales. Come on, please upload :)
I have noticed that some of you download Darts for Windows repeatedly. The link to DfW is very high speed so it will only take a few seconds to download (for me it takes 2 seconds to download 2.2 megabytes !!). There is nothing wrong with the link. It downloads so fast that you may think that nothing was downloaded !! :)

I'm sick and tired of ISP's tagging my mails (dartsforwin.com domain) as SPAM !!
50% of my mails lately does not reach the reciever (may not be the truth, but almost).
The worst one is Virgin in GB (and AOL). I ship unlock codes many times a day, but it seems like many of them ends up in the recievers junk mail folder or sometimes, they just disappears.
If you have paid for a license and you have not recieved a reply from me after 1 to 5 hours, please check your junk mail folder. I normally ship the code 5 minutes after you have purchased the license. I normally work from 07:00 CET to 23:00 CET.

Ok, let's try to think positive :), it is probably not the end of the world. The new option to download databases straight into DfW from a new screen in DfW is now working. I know that a lot of you out there is having problems downloading and opening DfW databases because you never read the documentation :)
Form version 2.7.2.2 you can download the databases I publish on my web site straight into DfW without even opening a browser. I will put a couple of screenshots into the "Improvements" section on the forum later tonight.

Ian Tilley, please check your email (and junk mail folder too). I have sent the code to you several times now (from different mail accounts).

There was an error in the Turkish Open 2008 database. The mens singles format in the draw sheet were set to an incorrect number of legs and therefore the wrong winner was put through to the next round (only on paper of course :) in some of the matches. This was not a bug, but a human error. Click link below to download the updated database in Darts for Windows format.

28.10.2008
19:15 CET

I have had several mails from users having problems with the BICC player import files. The fact is that there are no problems, I have simply added two kinds of downloads, the "Ready to go" databases (no import needed because the import has allready been done) and the "Player import files 2008/2009". The import files are located in a separate section below the "ready to go" databases. I do of course recommend that you use the "ready to go" database because it is what is says, a database ready to be used as it is :)

I have split the databases, in the download section on the right, into three categories: YOUTH DATABASES, SUPER LEAGUE and INTERNATIONAL.

In case you did not know, it is now a lot easier to uninstall Darts for Windows (from version 2.7.1.0) when you are upgrading to a newer version. I have added a separate uninstall shortcut in the "Programs" menu (see pic below).

27.10.2008
20:50 CET

There was a bug in the 2.7.2.0 version when creating a new database. No County teams were added. I missed out one sinlge apostrophe in a SQL statment. I'm sorry for the trouble. A new 2.7.2.1 version is now available for download.
I have just recieved the Berwick Darts Weekend Oct. 2008 database. The database contains all draws and results + scores and stats from the stage finals. Thank you to Cliff Murray for the kind donation.

26.10.2008
09:40 CET

The 2.7.2.0 version has been released. I have also created a new tutorial (click here) on how to use the new Match Editor.

The Turkish Open 2008 database is now available for download. Mens singles won by Darryl Fitton, ladies singles won by Julie Gore. The database contains all results and draws for singles, pairs and mixed pairs + the scores and stats from the stage finals.
Two new Super League databases are now available. Thank you to John Phillips and Ian Holman for the uploads.. Click link below to download the databases in Darts for Windows format.

I'm still very surprised that many of the Darts for Windows users never upgrade to the latest version. It has up to now been free to upgrade to the latest version, no matter how old your license are. I have no intention to change this policy yet, but I may do it in the future. When you buy Darts for Windows, you will anyway have a minimum of 12 months of free upgrades. The 2.7.2.0 version is ready to be released, but I have to finish the tutorial for the new "Match Editor" before I release the new version. Please have a look at the Darts for Windows forum. You don't have to register to read the articles and news there.

I have become a sponsor for the General darts chat section at the BDO Players Forum for the next 12 months.

While going through some old darts related stuff in my basement, I found my programme from the 1996 British Pentathlon. I was very happy when I discovered that I had written down every single point from the official scoreboard. What surprised me when I added all the points to my British Pentathlon database were the 4-5 errors I found in the grand total column. Some of the players had up to 7 points too many and some had up to 6 points too few. I don't think they used computers at the Rainham Mark Social Club that day :)
Anyway, I have updated my database with the 1996 Pentathlon. To view a Pentathlon, Start DfW, open the "Tournament" screen (CTRL-T) and then click the tab "Pentathlon". Open the Pentathlons from the drop down box. All columns can be sorted by clicking the column headers.

Thank you to Dawn Speed for uploading the BICC database.

All the "Ready to go" databases and the "Player Import Files" for the next BICC weekend 01/11 is now availalable for download here.
I have now tested all the different game formats in the new "Match Editor". The tests were a huge success. The editor has been tested on leg matches, set matches, pairs, County, Team of 4, Six Nations, Celtic Cup, League of Legends, Super League and Premier League formats. The editor passed all tests after a few adjustments. No more problems with editing scores and darts after a match is done. I did a test today on a Super League match where the user had changed one of the teams after the match was played and some data were lost. I managed to fix the error in just a couple of minutes.

A have recieved a Lancashire Super League match from Andy Heaton.

12.10.2008
23:00 CET

The Sky Poker World Grand Prix 2008 database has been updated with the Taylor-Barneveld final + two missing first round matches.
The new and improved Match Editor will be included in the next version of DfW. The new editor is a huge improvement to DfW. The new editor has support for inserting, appending and deleting legs. You can also edit the scores, add more score lines and change the number of darts used in a game shot. It is also possible to change the winner of a leg. It is very flexible, but the user will be responsible to do the correct changes. When you edit a match, you will always work on a copy of the match, not the original. The original match should be deleted after the editing has been done to avoid errors in the stats and duplicate data. A new tutorial for the editor will also be available when the new release is ready. I have to test every single type of matches supported by DfW before I can release the new version.
I have just recieved a database from the Finnish ranking tournament, Tallukka 2008. Thanks to Taina for the upload.

I have simply forgot to create a "how-to" for the Pentathlon function in DfW :)
Thanks to Darren Hawken for giving me a hint. There is a bug in the Excel export funtion in the Matchlog window. The bug has been fixed in the new unreleased version.
I have recieved yet another database from last weekends BICC round. I have also uploaded a database with all 8 matches from last nights Sky Poker World Grand Prix 2008 + both second round matches from tonight (Lloyd-Painter + King-Eccles). This database will be updated with more matches as soon as I get the time. I have taped 15 of the first 16 matches. The only match I'm missing is the Wade-Eccles match. If someone got the scores I would be very happy to have them :)

Thank you to Paul Warwick for the BICC database upload.

I have decided to expand the Round Robin to support up to 32 players in each group. I will also set the minimum number of groups down to 1. This means that you now will be able to run a single group Round Robin (or league) with up to 32 players. This option will be available in the next version of DfW.

19.09.2008
19:35 CET

I have fixed the download link below.
Version 2.7.1.0 has been released. Click here to download.
THE OLD VERSION MUST BE UNINSTALLED BEFORE YOU CAN UPDATE (NOTHING IS LOST).

  • Added option to print alphalist of all players in the "Add Players" screen. Also option to print the alphalist with the "paid" status set.
    printalpha
  • New print layout for County and Super League matches (see pic below on how to use the new option). Sample file in PDF format
    print
  • Fixed bug in Round Robin. When createing a RR, no matter what you had set the match to it only accepted max 3 legs when you registered the match results.
  • I can now send personal messages to any DfW user. If you are connected to the internet when starting DfW, DfW will check for new messages to you on my server.
  • When printing a draw sheet, the group winners name were misaligned. Fixed
  • There is no longer necessary to close a County match between the men's and ladies matches, minimizing will do, but I do recommend to close just to make sure.
  • Fixed a bug when running several matches at the same time. Sometimes the score would be put on the wrong side of the scoresheet if it had been inactive for a while.
  • A lot of minor fixes i can't remember :)

The BICC player import files for the next round 04/10/2008 has been uploaded to the BICC page. The "Ready to go" databases wil be added later.
More BICC databases has arrived. Premier Division is now complete. Nottinghamshire-Bedfordshire is now complete with both A and B matches. Thank you to Martin Forsyth-Benson for the update.

I know there are many counties out there who uses DfW. I would be very happy if you could upload the databases from the BICC matches. It only takes a few seconds and can be done very easily from the "Tools" menu in DfW by clicking the item "Upload current database" (if the BICC database is the current active database) or the item "Upload any file or database" if your databas(es) are not the active one.

11:25 CET

UPDATE
I have managed to solve the problem when two or more score sheets are active and you minimize one the score sheet windows. It was Windows who caused the trouble. I have created a workaround, but I don't have the time to publish a new version until I get home from Spain.
I'm leaving Spain 12:00 today (checking out of the hotel in 5 minutes). I will not be available until tomorrow morning (Sunday), unless there is a internet connection available on the plane :)

12.09.2008
15:10 CET

UPDATE
Yes, there is a problem if you just minimize the score sheet between the match. Whatever you do, don't minimize, close the score sheet instead.
Here is how to do it the proper way:
Saturday:
1. Create both B teams as normal.
2. Start the men's B match.
3. Play the first 4 matches.
4. Close the score sheet (very important. Don't minimize it !!)
5. Start the ladies B match.
6. Play the first 3 matches.
7. Close the score sheet.
8. Resume the men's B match by pressing CTRL-R on the keyboard or go to the "File" menu and click the item "Restore a match". Click the men's B match from the list box to load the data from the match.
9. Play the next 4 men's matches.
10. Close the score sheet.
11. Resume the ladies B match (as described above in number 8).
12. Play the last 3 matches.
13. Resume the men's B match.
14. Play the last 4 games.
Sunday:
Do the same as above (A teams of course :)
Thats it :)

Darts for Windows has been tested on Asus Eee PC 900 and it runs like charm.
I'm leaving for Spain on Saturday 06/09. I will be back on Sunday 14/09. I will probably have an internet connection available most of the time, but I can't give any guarantee that I will be answering mail or issue unlock codes during that period.

If you pay for DfW using an eCheck (a lot of people do), don't forget that it takes PayPal 10 days to clear the check. In other words, it will take 10 days before you get the unlock code. There is nothing I can do to change this. My advice is, pay by credit card if you are in a hurry or if you are an impatient person :)

The mens Europe Cup 2008 database is now complete. The database contains all score sheets, stats and draw sheets. Thank you to Carsten Jeppesen, DDU for sending me the missing data.

Some of the mails I have sent to my customers (containing the unlock code and the instructions on how to unlock) have not been delivered for some reason. I suspect Hotmail is blocking my address, license(a)dartsforwin.com for some strange reason. If you have purchased DfW lately and you have not recieved the unlock code after 3-4 hours, please contact me asap (link on the right side).

The ladies Europe Cup 2008 databases is now complete. I still miss the mens finals from yesterday. No reply yet from the DDU. We still don't know who won the Europe Cup ... No overall results on the offical web site.

The BICC import files for the 2008/2009 season has been updated.

23:00 CET

The up to date mens and ladies Europe Cup 2008 databases are now available for download. The mens team Round Robin and draw has been added to the mens database. The ladies database has been completed with the Round Robin and the pairs draw. Thanks to Evert Zomer and the DDU for the upload.

There is a bug in the Round Robinsetup. No matter what number of legs you set, it will default to best of 5 legs. The bug has been fixed. A new version of DfW will be available in a few days.

28.08.2008

I have added an option to print data from BICC and Super League matches in the same format as the BDO forms (well, almost identical). The layout has been apporved by the BDO.

Thanks to John Parrack for guiding me in the right direction. The new printing option will be available in the next version.

I just found out that the sound option (click here to read the how to) does not work on Windows Vista unless you change some settings. Because of the stupid paranoid secutity settings in Vista, the sound option does not work unless you right click the "dfwsound" folder and sets the security settings for "Users" to "Full control". What a crappy operating system !!

I'm back from Denmark :) The weather was not good until the day I left. It was raining and the wind was blowing like hell all week. Anyway, Denmark is a lovely country, cheap beer and lots of cheap first class wine :)
I'm going to create a new tutorial on how to setup the new BICC format (4 mens, 3 ladies, 4 mens, 3 ladies and finally the last 4 mens) for the 2008/2009 season using DfW.
I have recieved the Ciswo Summer 2008 database from Cliff Murray. The database contains the complete drawsheet + all scores and stats.

The 2.7.0.1 version has been released.
The complete Europe Cup 2008 draw in Darts for Windows format is now available for download. The database includes all players, all draws and the men's team and ladies pairs Round Robin.

Here is the change log for the 2.7.0.1 version:
  • Fixed a bug when displaying pairs in the draw sheet using the format "Lastname/Lastname-short team name". The wrong teamname were shown for some of the pairs.
  • Added support for printing Round Robin groups (group by group or all together).
  • Added uninstall shortcut from the "programs" menu.
  • Fixed "access violation" error message when deleting a Round Robin.
  • Added support for showing a suffix when displaying player names in the draw sheet. The two new formats added are "Firsname Lastname Suffix" and "Suffix-Firstname Lastname". For example: In Europe Cup, all players have a suffix (A, B, C or D). The suffix is also handy if two players has identical names.

06.08.2008
08:00 CET

I'm finished implementing the printing option in RR and I will release the 2.7.0.1 version probably on Thursday. I'm going to Denmark on holiday on Saturday. I will be away for a week (only). During that period, I will probably not have an internet connection and I will therefore not be able to issue unlock codes or answer mails. So please hurry if you want to purchase a license :)
The how to for Round Robin has been updated this morning with a couple of changes. I have also created a PDF version of the how to.

04.08.2008
21:15 CET

The BICC format has been changed, but it should not be any problems. I will publish an article later on how to play a BICC match with the new setup.
A 2.7.0.1 version will be released in a couple of days. I have added the option to print out Round Robin groups + a couple of other fixes in the Round Robin setup.
A note on reinstallation or upgrade Darts for Windows 2008

Darts for Windows 2.7.0.0 changelog:

  • Added support for Round Robin.
  • Added support for running a Pentathlon.
  • When set to show 3 dart average, the "Match Log" will also show 3 dart average.
  • Fixed a bug when playing against a database. If the option to record darts on doubles were active, the program would go into an endless loop.
  • Added option in the "Add new player" screen to convert all names to uppercase.
  • Added option in the "Add new player" screen to capitalize the names of the players (revert uppercase).
  • Improved the "Register darts on doubles" option.
  • Added option to turn on/off the "Register darts on doubles" option by RIGHT clicking the panel between the scoresheets in the score window.
  • Added support for the Legends format (best of 12 legs or first to 7 legs). Set the format to "Premier League" and then set the legs to 12 to activate the Legends format.
The new "Match Editor" is not is this release (will be added later).

03.08.2008

The 2.7.0.0 version has been released. The first version of Round Robin is now implemented, but no random draw at the moment (will be added later). I will create a how to for the Round Robin and Pentathlon in a day or two. The changelog will probably be available tomorrow. I will continue to improve the Round Robin so the next version of DfW will probably not be too far away :)

I have added support for Pentathlon in DfW. Click link below to download a database containing the British Pentathlon 2006, 2007 and 2008. To view the Pentathlon, download and open the database below, navigate to the "Tournament" screen, click the tab "Pentathlon" and then choose the Pentathlon you want to view from the drop down box.

The Round Robin part is 80% done (saving is working). Pentathlon is 100% done. The new "Match Editor" is not perfect yet, but it is a lot better than the old one. The support for the Legends format is 100% + I have improved the way you register throws on the double. I have also fixed a bug when registering darts on the doubles while playing against the computer (thanks to Andy Smith for pointing out the bug).

I have a couple of the matches from the UK Open 2008, but I don't know if I want to publish them. The stream I was watching was so poor that I only managed to get the scores from the Wayne Jones-Gary Mawson (QF) and James Wade-Vincent van der Voort (SF). I also have the first 5 legs from the Barneveld-Mawson semi-final. I would be very happy if someone out there has som more scores for me :)
In the next version of DfW, I will add a new import/edit function who makes it possible to edit a match (injecting legs, deleting legs, changing scores, number of darts and so on) after a match is done. You can also create your own import files to import into Darts for Windows. I will also create a tutorial on how to use the new function. I will at the same time remove the "Match Editor".

The BetFred League of Legends 2008 started last weekend. Andy Scott has donated scores from two of the matches, Cliff Lazarenko v Keith Deller and Bob Anderson v Peter Evison. He has also donated the PDC US Open 2008 final. I have also created a PDC players database. The database contains 679 men's and 1 women from the PDC Order of Merit dated 19/05/2008.. Very handy for those of you doing PDC tournaments.

I have noticed that most of you download both the executable and the full installer of Darts for Windows. There is NO reason to download both of them. I will try to explain why.

  • If you do not have Darts for Windows on your computer, dowload the full installer, unzip the installation file and then do a full install.
  • If you have an older version of Darts for Windows installed on your computer, download the executable only. Why ?
    Because you only have to overwrite the old executable with the new one. This saves you from doing a uninstallation before you can install a new updated version.

* To open the database, Darts for Windows 2008 must be installed on your computer.

In the next version of DfW, I will add support for the "Legends" format. The format is 12 legs, or first to 7. At the same time it will also be possible to play matches with even number of legs (just like the Premier League and Legends). I have set the format from 2 to 36 legs.
Example:
1. Set a match to 4 legs. The first player to win 3 legs wins the match or you can have a draw ( 2-2).
2. Set the match to 12 legs. The first player to win 7 legs wins the match or you can have a draw (6-6).
The new format must be set by using the "Premier League" format (see pic below).

I noticed that SKY's stats were NOT correct for Phil Taylor in the semi-final.
I double checked to make sure. His average in the semi were higher than the one they showed on tv and so were the number of ton+'s too :)
SKY's stats were not so accurate during the final either. Sometimes they were correct, sometimes not. I have not checked PDC's stats on Planetdarts, but I will do it later.

Darts for Windows is going to be used in the Nordic Cup, played in Finland the coming weekend. I expect to have the database with the full stats on Monday.

I have always been very discreet with my customers. I never give out any of my customers names or e-mail addresses. I never send out any spam or news. The downfall of this is that many of you don't upgrade your version of DfW. In the future, I may be sending out newsletters to make sure everybody is using the latest version of Darts for Windows. Some of you big stars out there never upgrade !!!

Please note that the "Executable only" update is only for users who allready has the full installation of DfW and wants to avoid uninstallation of the old version by overwriting the old executable.

It looks like PayPal or my ISP has problems with the payment notifications sent by PayPal. When customers pay using PayPal, I always recieve a payment notification just seconds after, but in the last couple of weeks, sometime I don't get the noifications at all. I therefore have to check PayPal manually for payment.

The price for a license is now set to £20. The reason for the change in the price is the very veak Pound Sterling (around 20% lower than a year ago).

I have decided to postpone the new version because I want to add a couple more functions. I will also check a couple of other things who needs improvement. I have also done a couple of changes to the unfinished "Round Robin" function. I have changed the maximum number of player in a group from 8 to 10 players. I haved also fixed a bug in the "Match Viewer" and the "Match details" screen. When clicking the "Go to last leg" button in a County match in the "Match Viewer", the numbering of the players would be incorrect. In the "Match Details" screen, the total team average was totally out of sync in county matches due to a numbering bug. It took me 5 seconds to fix it....
Another database from the last BICC round has just arrived. A big thank you to John Williams, Gwynedd for the donation. He worked really hard for this one :)

Version 2.6.0.12 has been released. This is a bugfix update.
Changelog:

Please not that the "Executable only" update is only for users who allready has the full installation of DfW and wants to avoid uninstallation of the old version by overwriting the old executable. Downloading and running only the exe file without the installation can have unpredictable results on the program
As a result of the weak Pound Sterling, I have to rise the price pr. license to £20 from 01/05/2008.

01.04.2008

I have had a couple of reports of problems with DfW this weekend. I have one report of problems with the arrow indicator pointing randomly to the wrong side.
This error was caused by the user closed the program in the middle of the match and then restarted the match later using the "Resume a match" function. In set/county matches, the arrow indicator goes bananas after a while if you use the "Resume a match" function. Will be fixed asap.
Another report is a colour distortion on the screen showed between County matches. The colour distortion is not DfW related, but it is related to the graphics driver or the projector not able to show scrolling text. To overcome this problem I will remove the scrolling text and replace it with static labels instead, simple as that. I have also had two reports on the score column has disappeared. This problem is caused by a new resizing algorithm of the score sheet introduced in the 2.6.0.9 version. I have finally managed to reproduce the problem. If you click on the points left column when the scoresheet has a certain size, the scorecolumn will scroll out of view because of one single pixel is lost in a rounding of a number function used in the resizing function :) I fill fix the "score out of view" today, but no new version will be published until I have fixed the "arrow" problem. The arrow indicator problem will take a little longer so in the mean time, don't use the "Resume a match" function if you are in a middle of a county or set match .

I have recieved some of the databases from this weekens BICC matches (PD is complete).

Version 2.6.0.10 has been released. The link to the latest executable has now been fixed (link was pointing to the 2.6.0.9 version).
The database from this weekends EDO and EDC event, England vs Europe is now available for download.
Click link below to download.

Thank you to the England Darts Organisation and Vic Sexton for donating the database.

Here is the change log for the new 2.6.0.10 version:

  • Brand new "Match Viewer". The viewer is now identical to the main scoresheet window.
  • Fixed the "Access violation" bug when opening the "Options" screen.
  • Fixed bug in the pairs draw in the "Tournament" screen (bye's disappearing when inserting players).
  • Fixed bug in "Average by match". Super League matches did not show W/L correct.
  • Changed the filter in "Average by match". Super League and County matches now uses the same filter.
  • In the "Tournament" screen, when inserting players, players allready in the draw is not listed in the players list anymore.
  • Changed som code in the "Upload current database". The zip file uploaded were sometimes empty if the current database was not in the default path.
  • Can't remember the rest ... :)

Version 2.6.0.9 is a critical update. The 2.6.0.8 version had a serious bug in the "Tournament" screen. When I was testing the new options in the "Tournament" screen last night, I only tested with a complete draw sheet. When I ran som new tests this morning on a empty draw, I discovered that I had totally screwed up the function who reads the draw from the database. I have fixed all know bugs and tested as much as I had the time to. For me it now looks ok.

15.03.2008
09:50 CET

Version 2.6.0.8 has been released. It is now possible to show only last names instead of full names in the main screen. I had to add this option because of Raymond van Barneveld. His name is so long and when the PDC uses DfW on stage for the Premier League, the names gets simply too small :)
I have also fixed the font scaling in the score sheet in the main screen and also in the Match Viewer screen.
In the Tournament screen when doing draws with more than 32 players, the last 32 players in the draw will also be available in a separate tab named "The Finals". When a draw gets very big, it's hard to navigate. To solve this the "The Finals" tab has been added. I have also done some work on the Round Robin, but there's a lot more to do before it can be used.
I have recieved the database with the complete Torremolinos Open 2008 draws + all scores and stats from the finals.

The Lancashire-Middlesex BICC players import file has been reuploaded because of change in one of the names. The file is available on the BICC page.

I have just recieved my new ceramic darts from www.ceramicdarts.nl. They look great !!
I'm going to test them now and I will post here what I think about them.
I have the C-Grip M1 Titanium 25 gr darts. Thank you to Ad Schoofs and www.ceramicdarts.nl for letting me test the new darts.

UPDATE: My first 3 darts without warming up were T20,20,T20 :)
I'm testing the darts playing cricket, using DfW of course.

UPDATE 2: These are the best darts I've ever tested. I have hit at least one treble out of 3 darts every time. The reason I think is that I have always had a problem with dry fingers. I never play well the first 20 minutes because my fingers are to dry, but for the first time ever, the grip was perfect right from the start. The darts simply stuck to my fingers the perfect way. You can get the ceramic darts in blank and matte. Blank for me would probably have been a disaster, but the matte darts were excellent for me. I'm not sure if these darts are available to Joe Public yet, but I know that Barney have tested them. My darts are shaped almost like the old Alan Glazier darts, in other words, probably the same one as Barney used :)

A new tutorial is now available. I was supposed to create a tutorial for the new crikcet feature but I changed my mind and created a new tutorial for setting up a Super League matches instead. Thank you to Beryl Page for the tip :)

The Word file has better image quality than the PDF file.

07.03.2008
23:30 CET

The new 2.6.0.7 version will probably be released tomorrow, Saturday, in the afternoon. There is a bug in the "Pairs" screen who has been fixed. I have also added the option to choose between 4,5 or 6 visible lines of scores in the scoresheet. i have also done a few other adjustments and bugfixes. The new version will also have Cricket darts.
I had by accident deletet all the BICC import files for Scotland North and Scotland South for 29/03/2008. New files has been uploaded.

I am very suprised of the fact that there are so "few" people, compared to how many licenses I have sold, who updates to the latest version of Darts for Windows. All licenses from October 2005 and up to this date is still valid for free updates.A lot of my customers thinks that they can't update because they are not connected to the internet (you don't have to be) or when trying to update, the computer complaints about a version is allready installed. Just uninstall the old version and then install the new one. Nothing is lost :). If you can't find the unlock code or have any problems, drop me a mail. It took Martin Adams two years to update to the latest version. I had to talk him into it when I spoke to him at Winmau WM :) ...and Raymond, it's free for you too :)
IT'S FREE FOR GOD'S SAKE - WHY DON'T YOU UPGRADE ? :)

I have recieved two more databases from this weekends BICC round.
Click link below to download.

I will release a new version of DfW in a few days, but from now on I will have two types of download. For upgrading to the latest version, you only have to download the EXE file and overwrite the current one in the installation folder. The second download is the full installer. By upgrading only the EXE file, no reinstallation is needed :)
I have tested the new Cricket feature in DfW and I must admit that I like it :)
I'm no expert on Cricket darts so don't expect miracles or any kind of spectacular stats, but if anyone can give me a hint i the right direction, I will of course do something about it. I have also added the option to adjust the numer of lines shown in the scoresheet. In all versions up to this date, 5 lines of scores were shown, but from the next version you can set the number of lines from 4-6 (12 to 18 darts). The option will be placed in the "Options" screen (Extended options).
The player import files for the next BICC weekend 29/03/2008is now available here. Division Two will be available soon.

04.03.2008
22:45 CET

The player import files for the next BICC round is now available for download from the BICC page. At the moment I have only created import files for Premier Division and Division One. The rest of the divisions will follow as soon as I get the updated list of players from the BDO. Please read the tutorial on the BICC page on how to import the players.
I have created a new tutorial on how to upload or distribute Darts for Windows databases.

I have also decided to include a simple version of Cricket darts in the next release of DfW. In Norway we call this type of game for Mickey Mouse :)

03.03.2008
14:40 CET

The database from Finnish Open 2008 is now available for download.
Robert Wagner "gave" the title to Steve West by missing loads of doubles in the final leg.
Just to make sure the check for updates are working, I have released version 2.6.0.6. The new version also contains a sneak preview of the Round Robin layout in the "Tournament" screen and a bugfix in the county team screen. When saving a county team, the display name was not set to "Teamname MA", "Teamname WA" and so on. This has now been fixed.
The new web server script used for unlocking Darts for Windows, had a nasty bug preventing the automatick unlock function to work properly. The script bug is now fixed.
I have also recieved some of the databases from this weekends BICC matches.
Click link below to download.

Thank you all for datbase donations.

The 2.6.0.5 version is now available for download. I have added automatic check for updates in the new version. I have also improved the report when printing the details from a Six Nations match. The registration window has also been improved and is now far more intuitive (I hope). The work with support for Round-Robin tournaments has also begun.
The new upload database function in DfW seems to be very popular :)
When you upload a database, it will not be visible in the download section until I have approved the database (if I do...:) ).

PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE NEW 2.6.0.4 VERSION IF YOU HAVE 2.6.0.3 ON YOUR COMPUTER.
Version 2.6.0.4 has been released because of a serious bug in the main screen in the 2.6.0.3 version. When game shot, the dialog box with the number of darts used in the checkout did not show. I simply had forgot to initiate a variable in my code.

Thank you to Marc Evans for the results from "Trumpet House Premier League" :).
Marc was the first person to test the new upload function in DfW. Marc played 4 matches against Graham Fillery and here are the results:
Marc Evans v Graham Fillery 3-8
Marc Evans v Graham Fillery 8-3
Marc Evans v Graham Fillery 6-8
Marc Evans v Graham Fillery 8-5

Averages: Marc 15.75
Graham 15.92

23:40 CET

Version 2.6.0.1 has been released. The program has undergone a massive overhaul under the hood. Super League is no longer limited to 7 mens or 5 women. A Super League team can now be setup with 3 to 12 players.
The setup window has changed a lot, but it should be rather easy to use. The player names and teams is now in the setup window instead of its own screen. I have also added some extended options in the "Options" screen.
The colours in the score sheet has changed. It is now possible to turn on/off the divider in the score sheet and also change the colour of the scores and points left. The size of the averages box can now be set to "Large" or "Normal" in the "Options" screen. I have also fixed a lot of minor bugs found along the way. I will also add support for the Premier League format in a few days. The PL format is 14 legs or first to 8 legs and is used by the PDC.

10.02.2008

All Premier Division matches from last weekend is now available for download on my BICC page.
www.dartsforwin.com and www.dartsforwindows.com is now online again. My server has never been down more than a few minutes the last 30 months, but as soon as I left for Portugal last Saturday, the power on my server said goodbye. I was lucky to get hold of a new power at Wortens in Albufeira. I came home this morning at 04:00 from Portugal. Around 09:15 last Sunday, this server went down. I was also without an internet connection at my hotel so I felt very frustrated because of the "isolation" and my server problems :). I have been working on DfW the whole week and I have rewritten thousands of lines of code to prepare the program for more improvements. I'm almost done with the coding, but it will still take some time to test it for bugs. I have also done a few changes, requested by the PDC. The size of the averages boxes can now be set to a very much larger size (two settings, normal and large). I hope I will have the new 2.6 version ready by the end of the week.

01.02.2008
19:35 CET

Darts for Windows 2008 is now used by the PDC at Premier League. They still use markers on stage, but they now have DfW on two monitors on stage. DfW must be set to "Best of unlimited" legs when used at the Premier League, because of the option to get a draw in the match.
I'm leaving for Portugal on Saturday 2nd. I'll be in Albufeira until Sunday 10th of February. I may have internet connection most of the time, but I'm not 100% sure. If you buy a license during that period, please be patient as it may take a little while before you get the confirmation and the unlock code.
I'm working with the Super League and the new "Match Wizard". A new version should be available in a couple of weeks.

27.01.2008
01:25 CET

The database from today's Tyne & Wear Open 2008 Presented by Stella Artois is now available in the database download section on the right side. Thank you to Alan Slight for donating the database.

26.01.2008
17:25 CET

I'm going to improve the Super League and County part of Darts for Windows. The Super League part is simply not good enough. I was not aware of all the different game formats. What I want now is to change the setup so the SL team can consist of 3 to 12 players. I would be very happy for some feedback regarding the SL playing format.
The "Match wizard" screen is undergoing a facelift to make it easier to operate.
I would like to thank all the counties for the donations of DfW databases. I still want more databases. Take a look at my BICC page, maybe you have a missing database to add to the list.

22.01.2008
23:15 CET

All databases from this weekends BICC Premier Division is now available for download on the BICC page. I have also added about 10 databases from the 2007/2008 season.

It is very important that you all follow the instructions when buying a license. If you register at PayPal with a fake email address when using a credit card, I will not be able to send you the instructions on how to get your unlock code.

Because of the value of GBP (£) has dropped over 20% against the Norwegian NOK the last 18 months, I may have to raise the price from £19 to £21 pr. license in the near future to cover my costs. If I do, I will give a two weeks notice on this page. The price is anyway very low compared to what the software can do and the time I spend on developing it.

A new version of DfW will be available in a few days. As soon as the 2008 Ladbrokes.com is over, I will get some time to add some new features to DfW before Lakeside starts. In the new version there will now be an option to backup the current active database. The backed up database will be compressed in ZIP format to make it smaller. I will also add the option to show the total number of games won in a BICC match, making it easy to see what the total score is. I will also start to create BICC import files for downloading from my site, containing all the BICC players registered in the current season, county by county. This will save all the Counties using Darts for Windows all the typing of the players names. Each file will contain all the players for each match (you may have to add new players to the database if the player does not exist in the current season in the BDO archives).
The new BICC page with the import files can be found here.

Kirk Shepherd and John Part is in the final of 2008 Ladbrokes.com WDC. 1st. semi-final result: John Part-Kevin Painter 6-2
2nd semi-final result: Kirk Shepherd-Wayne Mardle 6-4

The 2008 Ladbrokes.com WDC database now contains 47 matches, including the semi-finals, John Part-Kevin Painter and Kirk Shepherd-Wayne Mardle. I have also added the missing first round matches, Denis Ovens-Colin Monk, Mark Dudbridge-Steve Hine and Barrie Bates-Gerry Convery to the db. The drawsheet has also been updated with the results and I have also added the match start time to the drawsheet. I'm still a few matches behind, but I will continue to add as many as possible. It takes a lot of time to watch every match and enter the scores into DfW because almost all matches has went to a tie breaker. I don't have the video of a couple of the matches so the database will not be complete, unless someone has all the the data for the matches I'm missing. I forgot to put on my recorder yesterday so I missed the Shepherd-Manley match. Don't forget that is is also possible to play against all the legs/players/matches in the 2008 Ladbrokes.com WDC database. Take a look at this article on how to do it (not possible in the demo version).

Version 2.5.1.17 is now available for download. The bugs in the "Tournament" screen has been fixed. When loading a saved drawsheet, the match format data was cleared after loading (the best of legs/sets settings). The missing data led to some trouble when starting a match straight from the drawsheet and also when entering the results of a match into the drawsheet, the winning player was not moved automatically to the next match.
The Ladbrokes.com database has been updated with three of the matches from today, Painter-Mason, Shepherd-McGowan and Lewis-van der Voort. The complete drawsheet has also been added to the database. The database now contains 28 first and second round matches.
